The Ebonyi State Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dr Jennifer Adibe-Nwafor, has called on opposition leaders and stakeholders in the state to forge a united front that transcends party lines to promote the collective interests of Ebonyi and Nigeria.
Dr Adibe-Nwafor appealed during the inaugural meeting of the party held on Saturday in Abakaliki, the state capital.
She said the ADC was committed to good governance, economic development, and social welfare, stressing that justice, transparency, and accountability would be the party’s guiding principles.
“Good Governance means ensuring transparency, accountability, and inclusivity in our decision-making processes. Economic Development means creating opportunities for entrepreneurship, job creation, and sustainable growth. Social Welfare means improving access to quality education, healthcare, and social services for all citizens,” she stated.
The ADC chairman noted that Ebonyi State was rich in potential but burdened with challenges, adding that the resilience of the people must be matched with purposeful leadership.
“We meet today in a state that holds great promise, yet faces numerous challenges. Our people are resilient, resourceful, and yearn for good governance. As leaders, it is our responsibility to harness this potential and drive meaningful change,” she said.
Outlining the vision of the party, Adibe-Nwafor said ADC would leave no stone unturned in its bid to give Nigerians renewed hope.
“Our vision is clear: to build a prosperous Ebonyi State and Nigeria, where every citizen has access to quality education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. We will work tirelessly to ensure our state becomes a beacon of hope and progress in Nigeria,” she added.
She also urged coalition partners and supporters to register with ADC and participate actively in its programs.
“To our partners and well-wishers, I urge you to join us in this noble endeavour. We invite you to register with ADC and become part of the change we seek. Together, we can achieve greatness,” she charged.
